What the charity does
Six ways LATET BESIMHA steps into people's lives — each one grew out of a real need, and behind each stand volunteers and donors.
Medical help
When illness turns life upside down, no one is left alone.
Help with treatment, diagnosis and rehabilitation
A family facing a hard diagnosis first needs to know where to go. We help find the right treatment, diagnosis and rehabilitation, and we don't give up when the road gets complicated. That is how Sasha reached Hadassah — after five years of wrong diagnoses — and within two weeks finally got an answer.
Support at hospitals and clinics
Requests, appointments, committees, documents in a language not everyone understands. We accompany the family from the first request to the end of treatment, so its energy goes to the child — not to the bureaucracy.
Financial support when a family can't go on alone
There comes a moment when the savings run out and the hospital bill is still open. For that moment we open campaigns — like those for Sasha and Anfisa — and bring each family the help of hundreds of good people.
Specialists who join the way
Doctors, speech therapists, physiotherapists — we bring in professionals willing to help, so a child who needs care doesn't wait months for an appointment.
Gifts and joy on the wards
Our volunteers come to children's wards with toys, games and craft kits — the "Courage Basket" every child receives. The children's rehabilitation ward at Levinstein has asked us to buy medical rehabilitation equipment, and we are raising funds for it now.
Lone soldiers and fighters
They look after us — we make sure they are not alone.
Support for soldiers in combat zones
When units stay in the field for weeks, simple things run out: warm socks, toiletries, water, equipment. Our volunteers collect, pack and deliver — car after car — to the soldiers themselves.
Help for lone soldiers
A lone soldier comes back from the field to an empty flat, with no mother waiting and no one to ask how it went. We help with what he needs here and now — and above all, let him know someone remembers him.
A whole nation behind them
Every package that leaves our storeroom carries one message: you are not alone. Behind every box stand donors and volunteers who have never met the soldier — and still care for him.
Families and single mothers
Real help is help that stays.
A school year that starts with joy
A schoolbag, notebooks, clothes and shoes — September's list can break a family's budget. We make sure the children arrive on the first day with everything they need, heads held high.
Everyday essentials
Food baskets, toiletries and whatever is missing at home — dozens of families received humanitarian aid and essentials from us over the past year.
Free legal and psychological advice
A meeting with a lawyer or a talk with a psychologist can change a whole family's direction — but not everyone can pay for them. We connect families with professionals who help free of charge.
Support at government offices
A letter no one can understand, a form waiting for a month, an appointment that costs a day off. We help with the paperwork and sit beside the family in front of the clerk — because sometimes that is the greatest help.
Victims of war and terror
Wounds seen and unseen — and a long road back.
Humanitarian aid
Families who were hurt receive food, equipment and essentials from us — quickly, directly, without needless forms.
Support through treatment and rehabilitation
The road back after an injury is long. We stay beside the wounded and their families after the headlines move on — through treatment, rehabilitation and government offices.
Getting back on their feet
First aid is only the beginning. We support families until they start to rebuild their routine, their income and their sense of safety.
Education and growth
Knowledge opens doors — to work, to friends, to self-confidence.
Computer classes for teenagers
For a teenager from a struggling family, a computer and a good lesson can be the start of a profession. In our computer classes teenagers learn tools that will serve them for years.
Sports clubs
A regular club gives structure, friends and confidence — and sometimes a place to let out what is hard to put into words.
Hebrew courses and enrichment programmes
For a new immigrant, Hebrew is the key to work, to the children's school and to the community. Our courses open that door.
Lectures and enrichment meetings
Professionals and volunteers give open lectures and meetings — a chance to learn something new and to meet people.
Volunteering and community
The place where no one is alone.
Help with bureaucracy
A hand that helps fill in a form or call a government office — a small thing that saves people days of frustration.
Clubs and shared dinners
A shared dinner and a regular club turn strangers into a community. Whoever comes once comes back.
Meetings and themed evenings
Evenings where people meet, talk and rejoice together — because joy is part of our name.
35 new volunteers
Over the past year 35 new volunteers joined us. They pack parcels, visit wards, stand by families and organise evenings — they are the heart of the charity.
